    There are many words you can use that don’t involve ableist language. If you’re using that word against someone you don’t like, you’re exposing that you have a problem with the folks the slur is intended to describe. Anyone who uses bigoted speech is no comrade of mine, and I don’t care who it’s used against.

      using that word against someone you don’t like

      It means you don’t actually have values in this regard.

      Just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they’re Republican. I feel like that’s way more offensive.
